B-Man

Yeah Pete, They were gone a long time ago - all three std cats have been given the boot. Actually the whole std exhaust has gooooone - Have a nice brand new shiny 3" -> 2 x 2.5" system with one big i flow cat. no resonator and two cannons at the rear - Zorst is FREE FLOW man

Since engine was low on compression and I didn't want to risk anything - Have decided to go with a full race prep engine rebuild - which is why this is taking so long. Fully Dowled block Mild Ext. Port Race seals and spring The whole shebang then all the good stuff goes on Should be ready end of Jan.

How is this for hypocrisy ? The G'ment cracks down on HP Import owners that modify their cars. BUT I can get a $2000 grant back from the Govenment for fitting a Diesel/Gas system to my Turbo Diesel Pajero - giving it 20%-30% more power and torque. The DieselGas system is an LPG system that is computer controlled - squirts a small amout of LPG into my intake (eg like NOS) - and gives me huge power gains. (and economy, and cleaner oil, and no black sooty exhaust). The sysem is gonna cost me $3800 - but I get $2000 back from the G'Ment so only costs me $1,800 - For 20%-30% more power and torque guaranteed. http://dieselgas.com.au/home.htm How funny is that ! PS - Yes I am going to get it done !

Garrett and HKS rear housing v-bands are definitely different. Oil line might need a different fitting too.

Sorry to hear - but glad you are OK.

Power FC can do 350+ rwkw - just change the AFM to a Q45. Haltech are good though - E11V2 $2275 is RRP plus tune sounds about right to me ! But you will be pushing an RB25 - better to get an RB3o bottom end. (for your 350+)

How was the compression test done ? Hot / Cold ? Wet / Dry ? Has the compression tested been calibrated ?

Ha ha - I love this thread. andy - we may have turned some of these Nissan biggots to Mazda performance :D

Redline shockproof is meant to be good./

Ha ha - beaten by a Silvia ! Obviosly the Fd was low on HP versus the Tommie built R34 and HKS power Silvia. Different tracks different drivers. FD is still hell sexier Rotors FTW !

Haltech have finalised the new code for ignition - a bit tricky the way it had to be done. 260 HP at the wheels with just the Haltech - standard boost 11.5:1 accross the board. Engine is a little bit low on compression - but nothing to stop the next stage. Stay tuned.

Don't think my car will be ready.

YES mate - it's all still stock as a rock - they are getting the ECU right first - then fitting the good bits. So the order of things goes like this: 1) Dyno run as I dropped it off to them - 226RWHP - Completed. 2) Install & tune the Haltech E11V2 ( so they can get a basemap for Haltech, so they can sell to other Cosmo owners whio just want the ECU changed) - Not completed 3) Dyno with just ECU and stock everything else. Not Completed 4) Fit the good bits (1600cc inj's, TO4Z, Fuel Pump, etc) - Not Complete 5) Tune with new bits - Not Complete 6) Dyno the final product - Not Complete. So far we are between step 1 and 2

226rwhp is the baseline. Which is shit - OEM ECU is crap and running hell rich. Next milestone is the new ECU with the stock setup - Hitman (matt) is uber confindent that we will get MUCH more power and economy, just with the ECU replacement. Haltech are still working on ignition code and should be finished monday or tuesday - So that is the next dyno run. After that - Compression check, full service and all the good bits go on. More to come.......

Haltech are making a 20B loom for their E11V2 ECU - also doing some software changes to accomodate the Cosmo ignition system. Using my car to test everything.. All that should be done now - so we should be getting into the good bits soon. I haven't spoken to Matt for a few days - but I know Maroun is chanting at the bit to get started (and so am I). More soon ......

6boost manifolds are quite impressive.

So: Who won Where are the pics What were the times Who broke something Who embarressed themselves When is the next one ?

I'd be there, but car won't be ready........ as usual for me.....

For a great cause ! $200 !

I was right up the back with the nose bleeds - but directly facing the stage - not to the side. Thank god for thebig screens ! - Would have loved to have been closer - but still very happy. Geez there were some idiots there last night though. Kids..... humph - no respect for cripples

Just got back from tonight's concert - Fu(king AWESOME !

PM sent Shell - sorry for the lateness... how rude of me.

I think UAS dabbled with these. Not sure if they do any more though !
